Soon, the area of annihilation was swept clean. Not even the corpses were left behind. They were all collected for evidence.
The formation set up by millions of people was removed, and a large number of troops swept the ground.
9557 turned to Miao Yi and the others and transmitted his voice, "Before your secret mission is over, you will still be under the command of the Right Overseer Division. Do not reveal your identities to anyone else."
"Understood!" Just as Miao Yi and the others agreed and were pondering his identity, Big Dipper Legion's Yu Zhongzhen came over with his men. He cupped his fists and greeted, "Governor, are you alright?"
"I'm fine! Report the families of our fallen brothers. Make sure to make proper arrangements. Don't let our brothers die with regrets. "9557 turned and instructed.
Miao Yi and the others were instantly dumbfounded. Other than Hua Yitian, the Suppressing Second Guard's Governor under the Left Commander, there was no one else who could make Big Dipper Legion's Yu Zhongzhen come over and respectfully address him as Governor.
Miao Yi slowly turned back to look at the Suppressing Second Guard's flag. He was still wondering where the Suppressing Second Guard's Governor had gone. He didn't expect Governor Hua Yitian to be the 9557 who had fought alongside him. Hua Yitian had actually disguised himself and sneaked into the auction house. This …
However, it was understandable. If they hadn't sent someone as strong as Hua Yitian, they would definitely have fallen into the hands of unknown people. It was Hua Yitian who had saved them at the critical moment.
However, the disparity in strength between them left others speechless. Miao Yi also understood that they were bait. Under certain circumstances, low-level bait like them would be needed.
None of this was important. What was important was that Commander Niu had previously shouted at the Governor and even called himself 'daddy' to him …
Miao Yi was a little worried at the thought.
Governor Hua, who had yet to reveal his true appearance, left with his hands behind his back and led Yu Zhongzhen and the others away. Yu Zhongzhen didn't recognize Miao Yi. Not only was Miao Yi in disguise, but he was also wearing a gauze hat. It wasn't easy to recognize him.
Perhaps he sensed something, Governor Hua suddenly turned around and glanced at Miao Yi. Miao Yi's heart skipped a beat as he calmly glanced at him.
Governor Hua didn't leave them behind. He sent his men to escort them out of the starry sky. He sent them to a place where no one could find them before dropping them off. It was convenient for them to avoid being noticed and return to the Ghost City. Even though the Heavenly Court had completed the stage mission and captured all the conspirators in one fell swoop, the mission to find the whereabouts of the nine million broken magic bows still had to continue.
Miao Yi and the others had no idea when and where they had gone. He quietly returned to the Ghost City and returned to the Moonless Inn.
It was impossible to hide such a large-scale movement in the Heavenly Court. The ghost market was already in an uproar. People could be seen discussing this matter everywhere on the streets and on the boats.
On the middle floor of the Trust and Justice Pavilion, the old man in green was reporting the situation outside.
Cao Man and his granddaughter, the hostess, stood in front of the window and looked at the bustling Ghost City in the distance. After listening to the report, Cao Man tilted her head and sighed, "Feng Chi, I didn't guess wrong, did I? You heard it, right? You are a calm child, otherwise your family would not have sent you here. I know that the assassin who killed your brother Longcheng is hiding in the Chaotic Astral Seas. The assassin may be related to the White Phoenix, but you cannot act on your emotions. The family has placed their trust in us by sending us here. You must remain calm in the face of trouble. "
The hostess was called Cao Fengchi. Her real name was Xiahou Fengchi. She was the younger sister of Xiahou Longcheng and the older sister of Xiahou Hucheng. The truly outstanding members of the Xiahou family were all placed in shady places to manage their underground forces. This was because the underground forces were the foundation that kept the Xiahou family afloat. Although the members of the Xiahou family standing in the light weren't all mediocre, they were not that strong. However, they weren't that strong. That was why House Xiahou kept a low profile and acted according to the rules.
Under normal circumstances, the members of the Xiahou family would hide underground and never have any contact with the ones in the light. This was a form of protection for each other.
This was also a relationship of mutual reliance. The underground forces were the guarantee for the Xiahou family's wealth, and the favored ones in the light could provide a certain degree of protection for the underground forces as the Celestial Emperor's close subjects.
Cao Fengchi felt a lingering fear when she heard this. She didn't expect the Celestial Court to secretly send so many people here. She lowered her head and said, "Third grandpa, I was wrong. I just feel that the Green Lord treats us like toys. I'm a little unwilling. "She raised her head and asked," Third grandpa, are we really going to give up on those arch-breaking bows? "
Cao Man said indifferently, "Who said we're giving up? If we can get our hands on those arch-breaking bows, they will be of great use in the future. Our goal here is to silently prepare all kinds of reserves for the family in case of emergencies. Only with sufficient preparation can the family calmly deal with all kinds of dangers. However, we can't be too hasty. If we want to get our hands on them, we have to do it without anyone knowing. Even if one person knows, we can't touch them even if we can get our hands on them. "
Cao Fengchi was surprised, "Why?"
Cao Man sighed, "Girl, remember, for now, the Celestial Emperor also needs the existence of an underground force like our family. Our family won't allow other nobles to encroach on our territory. Otherwise, it will weaken our family. With our family around, the other nobles in the Celestial Court won't be able to develop their forces in the underground world. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous for the Green Lord if they have a large number of troops on the surface and a powerful force in the dark. Similarly, the Green Lord won't allow us to have a large number of troops on the surface. Although the family has always been fighting for it, the Green Lord has never let go. This is a kind of balance, a balance that the Green Lord needs. Otherwise, the Green Lord will definitely deal a heavy blow to our family at all costs. Do you understand? "
Cao Fengchi nodded thoughtfully, "Granddaughter understands."
Who knew that Cao Man would suddenly snort and laugh coldly, a fierce look on her face and a murderous glint in her eyes, "The Green Lord likes to use peaceful means before resorting to force, so we'll play along. He's done with his game and we've returned his money, but we're not that easy to fool. Now it's our turn to make a move. Sending a bunch of people to spy on the phantom market, do you think we don't know? Do you really think that we're blind after staying here for so many years? Old Seven, think of a way to find those ghouls from the Celestial Court in the phantom market and get rid of them all! "
"Yes!" The green-robed elder responded, then asked, "Boss, the spies from the Celestial Court, regardless of whether they're old or old, are we going to get rid of all of them?"
Cao Man waved her hand, "Get rid of all the new ones that we can get rid of. As for the old ones, clean them up appropriately, but don't go too far. If we clean them up too thoroughly, the Celestial Court will send people over in the future, and it will cause trouble for us to sort out the clues ourselves. We can't get rid of all of them, and we can't not get rid of them. Otherwise, the Celestial Court will become suspicious and replace all the spies. Also, check if the one who abandoned his bid at the auction is still here. If he is, drag him out for me and execute him on the grounds that he abandoned his bid. Let everyone see that this is the consequence! "
Cao Fengchi was shocked, "Third Grandpa, this isn't a good idea. Now that everyone knows that the one who abandoned his bid is definitely someone from the Celestial Court, if we execute him in public, wouldn't that be a slap to Master Qing's face? Later on, Master Qing will definitely condone Pojun to attack Master again, and deliberately humiliate Master and Auntie to take revenge. "
Cao Man said, "Don't worry, this time, Master Qing won't dare to do that, unless he doesn't want that batch of broken magic bows anymore. If he still wants to find that batch of broken magic bows, he will definitely send people to the phantom market to scout for information. Do you think he will be worried that we will attack his people again? So this time, he will bear with it. "
Cao Fengchi felt that this matter was very important, so she advised, "Third Grandpa, shouldn't we discuss this with Master first?"
Cao Man suddenly turned around and said indifferently, "This is Master's intention! Master said that we still have to display our strength when necessary, otherwise he will come to our territory and cause trouble for no reason. We can't allow this to happen. There are some lines that we must guard, and we must let Master Qing understand that we can't let him treat us like pushovers! Ol 'Seven, after we find the person, let Fengchi personally deal with him. Since the place was ruined in her hands, let her show her might in public and get back at him! "He raised his hand and waved at the green-robed elder.
"This old servant will make the arrangements now!" The green-robed elder excused himself.
The first thing Miao Yi did when he returned to the Moonless Tavern was to treat his injuries.
He was unlucky that the Celestial Court had played the trick of injuring himself to gain their confidence. He had no choice. As a member of the Celestial Court, he could only watch helplessly as they injured him. However, he was still relatively lucky. For example, Governor Hua Yitian clearly had the ability to save those black-robed men, but he didn't. In order to wait for the army to surround him, he watched as his subordinates died. Miao Yi felt a lingering fear just thinking about it.
However, the treatment didn't go smoothly. Yan Xiu was also injured and was treating his wounds. Only Yang Zhaoqing stood guard outside. Yang Zhaoqing announced from outside, "Lord Miao, Miss Hua greets you."
"Let her in." Miao Yi's tone carried a hint of anger. This time, he almost lost his life because of that woman.
Zhan Ruyi pushed the door open and entered. She was also injured, but she remembered something and came to inform Miao Yi.
Miao Yi was annoyed the moment he saw her. He mocked, "What is it? Don't tell me there's another mission? "
Zhan Ruyi was also fearful. She understood why Miao Yi was angry, so she wasn't angered. She calmly said, "Don't tell me you forgot about the batch of celestial peaches you bought at the auction?"
'Celestial peaches?' Sitting cross-legged on the couch, Miao Yi stretched out his hand. "Give it to me!"
Zhan Ruyi said, "No, it's still in the Hall of Faith."
Miao Yi glared at her. "Didn't you say you'd give it to me for free? You're messing with me, aren't you? "
Zhan Ruyi said, "I'm a man of my word. It's just that you took the number plate with you. The auction house won't hand it over until they see it. Otherwise, someone might use it to cause trouble later on." As she said this, she flicked a storage bangle over. "I've given you the money. It's up to you whether you want to hand it over to the Hall of Faith. However, I have to remind you that the Hall of Faith said you were trying to evade the bid. They seem very angry. Be careful. Don't cause trouble for us. "She turned around and left.
